An interesting biopic

A few holes here and there, but overall a good watch. Choice of characters ... think it could have been better. But those that acted did very well in my opinion. This offers an insight a good one at that into the history of politics especially military politics in Nigeria, Pre- Coup and Pro - Coup.The hunger for power is not a new thing apparently, even the ones with the noblest of characters. The cabal has been "cabaling" since forever and it is going to take a miracle to uproot them.Nigerian politics is one of the most complicated in the world. This movie has shown that. Even your closest friend cannot be trusted, but of course we all know that.
